Patent CA-2341864-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SPERSCHNEIDER RALPH
IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 1999-08-12
Abstract: A method and a device for entropy encoding and associated decoding make use of a code consisting on the one hand of a code table with reversible code words and comprising on the other hand an escape region for information words to be coded which are located outside the region defined by said code table. Said region can be selected in such a way that a major part of the information words is coded with symmetrical code words by the code table. On the one hand, it is thus possible to carry out, in addition to forward decoding, also backward decoding and on the other hand, use of reversible code words allows for rapid recognition of errors in a code word stream transmitted over a non-ideal channel.

Patent CA-2343238-A1 (CA)
Title: High efficiency gear pump for pumping highly viscous fluids
Inventor: RAMANATHAN RAVI
IPC: F04C2/18
Filed: 1999-09-17
Abstract: A gear pump exhibiting improved efficiency over a broader range of fluid viscosity and pump speed includes a compression zone defined between each of a pair of pump gears and internal walls of a gear chamber, wherein the compression zones have a non-uniform thickness along a longitudinal direction of the gears. The geometry of the compression zones provides a mechanism whereby the drag of the viscous fluid which is induced by the rotation of the pump gears carries the viscous fluid through a progressively narrower gap in the direction of rotation ending in a final smooth pinch-off at the start of the seal zone. The geometry of the compression zone maximizes the drag and pressurization of the viscous fluid being pumped into the teeth of the gears, thereby assisting in the complete filling of the teeth.  The result is improved fill efficiency over a broader range of pump speeds and over a broader range of fluid viscosity.

Abstract: Des positions peuvent être fixées avec précision et exactitude dans un espace de travail tridimensionnel. L'invention concerne un système d'au moins deux émetteurs qui balayent en continu l'espace de travail au moyen de deux rayons laser en éventail, séparés de 90· de préférence. Un instrument de réception comprend, de préférence, deux photodétecteurs sphériques, qui détectent le moment où chaque rayon laser en éventail les frappe. Les photodétecteurs détectent également une impulsion de synchronisation provenant de chaque émetteur, impulsion émise une fois par révolution. Les rayons des différents émetteurs sont différenciés par des vitesses de rotation différentes et, par conséquent, des cycles d'incidence différents. Etant donné que trois plans qui se croisent définissent, de manière unique, un point dans un espace de travail tridimensionnel, l'instrument de réception, en détectant au moins trois des rayons en éventail provenant des émetteurs, peut calculer la position dudit point dans l'espace. Une procédure de mise en oeuvre de calcul rapide permet à un utilisateur de définir un système de coordonnées voulu dans l'espace de travail.
